Picture of afghan order I am worked ng on for a coworker.

I did not realize it had been so long since I posted.  Got a new job in October.  Have been doing a lot of crocheting and a little bit on hats.  Will post pictures here.

I have finished the crocheted throw.  No pattern, per we, just double crochet and chain 3 at end and turn.  Used a variety of solid and variegated yarn.  Thinking of making an afghan for my sister but have to find a good shade of yarn.  Picture of throw is attached.  I am on vacation this week so going to try to get my room straightened up and go thru project and yarn bags and get them organized.

July was a slow crafting month because I read 40 books instead.  I have, however, just finished a hat done with a lighter weight yarn.  This hat would be great for fall or spring because of the lighter weight yarn.  I have attached a picture here.  Now am going to work on my crocheted throw because I only have 14 rows left to do to finish it.

I have not done any crafting in quite a while.  Have mainly been reading.  I will attach pictures of newest hats.  Sent some of the hats to my daughters along with a crochet hook, a loom knitting hook and some yarn.  I need to pick up some yarn for my crocheted throw when I get paid.  I am currently at a stopping point on the throw until I get more yarn.  I have used some of my leftover yarn to make granny squares and will keep these until I have enough for a blanket.  Hope to get back to crafting this week when I am off.

New hats with sparkly yarn

Attached are pictures of the 2 new hats I have done with red and white sparkly yarn I got from JoAnn's Fabrics.  The pictures really don't show how beautiful these hats are.  They are gorgeous.

If you are interested in a crocheted afghan or knitted loomed hats, please contact me by email at crys101497@yahoo.com.

The crocheted afghans are priced based on costs of supplies and shipping.

Update and test

Am going to try to see if I can get the blog posts to show up on facebook.  Have not done any stitching but mostly knitted loomed hats.  Have finished 2 hats and working on a third.  Hope to finish this 3rd hat so I can do some stitching.  Have been knitting and crocheting and not any stitching and really want to work on some of my stitching projects.

Haven' t posted in a while because been busy.  Have started selling Avon.  You can visit my online store if you would like to order.  www.youravon.com/crystaltoller

Have finished some hats and will try to post pictures here.  Have not made much progress on the Angel Stocking cross stitch kit but hope to work on it some this weekend.  Have started a piece by Sundays Creations A Friendly Frosty for an SAL but not much done on that either.  Will have to take more pictures after the weekend to show progress.  Have also done some coloring and have posted those pictures here too.

Am going ng to try and add pictures of recent crafting.

Have done quite a few more hats and made progress on another baby afghan for someone at work.  Have also started an afghan in light blue for my bosses daughter who is pregnant.

Have also made 3 coasters with white crochet thread got for free.  My moms friend brought a bag of yarn and knitting looms that someone left at the dump.

Have been busy making hats and hope next week to go to visitors center and talk to them about selling my hats.

Have set up page on Facebook for Cryscrafts.  Made 3 hats so far.  Attaching pictures.  Facebook page is under Crystal Toller and is called Cryscrafts.  Am working on loomed adult hat now.  Am plan ng to make up bunch of hats for stock to sell through my page and also at local visitors center gift shop.  Prices are 6.00 for newborn/premie hat, 8.00 for baby/ toddler hat, 10.00 for adult hat and 12.00 for larger hat plus shipping.  Baby afghans are 15.00 plus shipping.

My moms friend came by last week and brought me a garbage bag full of yarn.  It also had 2 looms in it.  One is a 4 loom set by knifty knitter and the other one is a small loom from Michaels.  So excited because I have wanted some knitting looms for quite a while.  Have attached pictures.

Thursdays is a UFO day in one of my yahoo groups.  So tonight I managed to start the backstitching on my autumn block and get some done.  I also started another baby blanket.  Will have to get one more skein of yarn when this first one runs out to finish the blanket though.  I found a pattern for a knitted ripple afghan so may buy me some circular needles soon so I can start this blanket.

Will post a picture of the autumn block when all the backstitching is done.  Hope to get the backstitching finished this weekend so I can work on my Joan Elliott Angel Stocking for my new baby cousin.

Happy Crafting!!!

I have recently been doing a lot of crocheting.  I have completed a single crochet scarf, and a baby blanket.  I also have done all the cross stitches on a free autumn block design from clouds factory.net.  Attached are pictures.
